4.0 out of 5 stars Magellan External Antenna, July 21, 2005

Used on new Magellan 760. Happy to see that they gave you instructions. Magellan reference manual doesn't show you how to attach. You have to pull off the antenna attached to the Magellan GPS (it snaps on and off) and plug the external antenna in. The magentic base really holds on to the point it is hard to remove, has a rubber ring base but it doesn't completely cover the whole base just the outside edge. Works well you get a better constant signal than using the units supplied antenna but you have to figure out what to do with all the extra wire that you don't use. I gave it a 4 stars due to the pricing. Check out aftermarket antenna's before buying one.

Excellent accessory for the Magellan 760 GPS unit. Allows me to place the GPS unit on the console instead of hanging it from the windshield to get the satellite signals. My vehicle does not have room on top of the dash for the GPS unit. External antenna gives unit clear visibility to the GPS satellites and gives me flexibility where I place the GPS unit.

Excellent addition to your Magellan GPS System. Increases reception considerably in areas where trees and building can cause interference driving down the road. This antenna improves the signal strength and keeps the GPS from hunting for satellites less often.
